research Expression of androgen receptor coactivator ARA70/ELE1 in androgenic alopecia
The protein ARA70/ELE1 is involved in male pattern baldness, and lower levels of its short form may lead to hair thinning.
research Safety and Tolerability of the Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Dutasteride is safe and effective for treating hair loss, but may decrease libido.
research Infertility and teratogenicity after paternal exposure to systemic dermatologic medications: A systematic review
Some skin medications can harm male fertility, but they don't seem to cause birth defects from father's exposure.
research A Study of the Expression of Small Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels (SK1-3) in Sensory Endings of Muscle Spindles and Lanceolate Endings of Hair Follicles in the Rat
SK2 channels help control sensory signals in rat muscle spindles and hair follicles.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.
research Trichothiodystrophy with Dysmyelination and Central Osteosclerosis
Specific brain and bone imaging findings can help diagnose Trichothiodystrophy.
research The role of the adrenal glands in regulating onset of winter fur growth in mink (Mustela vison)
Adrenal glands delay the start of winter fur growth in mink.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Clinical presentations of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata causes varying hair loss patterns, affecting hair, nails, and possibly glands, with treatment outcomes depending on disease duration and extent.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Anticytokine therapy, particularly anti-IFN-γ, in Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases
Blocking interferon-gamma might help treat various autoimmune diseases.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Topical Antiandrogen Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia and Acne Vulgaris
Topical therapies show promise for hair loss and acne treatment with minimal side effects.
research Erythematous cutaneous nodules caused by adulterated cocaine
Talc in street cocaine can cause immune-reactive skin nodules where injected.
research Silicon in hair loss: a preliminary SEM microanalysis study
The study suggests silicon might be important for healthy hair, as less silicon was found in people with hair loss.
research The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome
Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, linked to contaminated L-tryptophan supplements, caused severe symptoms and some deaths, with long-term effects in survivors.
research Dilation of Multiple Eccrine Ducts as a Highly Specific Marker for Cicatricial Alopecia
Widened sweat ducts are a very specific sign of scarring hair loss.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
Calcium reduces involucrin in rat hair bulbs but doesn't affect filaggrin and Kdap.
research Impaired differentiation potential of CD34-positive cells derived from mouse hair follicles after long-term culture
Mouse hair follicle stem cells lose their ability to change into different cell types after being grown for a long time.
research De novo assembly and annotation of Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) genome
The Asiatic lion has very low genetic diversity and unique genetic traits, highlighting the need for its conservation.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research Multi-scale spatial mapping of cell populations across anatomical sites in healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma
The research created a detailed map of skin cells, showing that certain cells in basal cell carcinoma may come from hair follicles and could help the cancer grow.
